The Carolina Hurricanes will again start Brandon Bussi in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals against an unnamed opponent. Bussi's strong performance in Game 4 helped tie the series at two games each. Meanwhile, the status of veteran goalie Frederik Andersen is unclear; he was previously indicated to be healthy but may now not even be the third-string goalie.

Sources suggest he skated Thursday morning but did not participate in the morning skate ahead of Game 5.
